  1. >“I got fired from a movie theater for ruining the end of ‘Titanic,’” Hader said. “I was working in a movie theater, and ‘Titanic’ hadn’t come out yet, and a sorority had bought out the movie theater and they were in the doorway and I was going, ‘Hey, guys. Can you guys move?’ They were making fun of me. They said I looked like Charles Manson. Which I kinda did. I had a little bowtie on and cummerbund, and I was like, ‘Hey guys, please move.’ And they were like, ‘No.’”

    >“So when they went in, as I tore the tickets, I was like, ‘Enjoy the movie. The boat sinks at the end. Leo dies,’” he continued. “And they were like, ‘No, he doesn’t.’ I go, ‘Yeah, you think he’s asleep. But he’s frozen.’ And that showed them.”

    >Hader concluded, “The [manager] came down smiling, and he was like, ‘Hey, Bill. I have to fire you.’ He loved it. Couldn’t look me in the eye, though.”

  2. It’s weird because I always could see him playing Ted Bundy in a project…

    Good for him though!

  3. If teenage girls call you a nasty name, the APPROPRIATE response is to ruin their night with words.

  4. Journalists out here spitting back information they picked up while watching TV.

  5. Ha, my father did the same to all my female cousins when Titanic came out. They were so pissed.

  6. Eh, sorority girls are usually toxic. I take Bill’s side. Good job, Bill!

  12. I was really confused trying to remember the movie “Theatre Job” and sus out why the fuck a bunch of sorority girls were on set.

    I need to sleep.

  15. Dude told this story on Conan’s pod years ago. Old news making headlines.

  19. There is an old video of some dudes driving by the long ass line to buy one of the new Harry Potter books. These dudes managed to get an early copy and were shouting spoilers to the people in line. “Dumbledore Dies!!”

    Cruel? Yes. Funny? Also yes.

  20. Imagine being one of those toxic girls… reading this years later and realizing 🤣

  21. I have never actually seen that movie. It seemed so maudlin in the trailer that I couldn’t bring myself to watch it. And now that I know how it ends, I don’t even need to see it.

  23. I got a fist bump from that dude a couple weeks ago. Such a rad guy.

  27. That’s the perfect movie for it. As a 13 year old guy, I hated Leo. It’s was non stop for a year at least.

  28. Oh, you just ruined it for me! Of course, I was never going to watch it, so I guess it’s ok.
